The sale of a corporate or government property to an investor and the simultaneous leasing of the property by the corporation or government is a valuable real estate option. The sale will provide the opportunity to raise cash, while maintaining operating control of the property as if it were still owned.

Such a sale/leaseback for a corporation will often show increased productivity by allowing the corporation to reduce the assets shown on the balance sheet, thereby increasing their return on assets.

PROCEDURE
